Matcha tea cake

3:22:00 AM

A long time ago I went to Malaysia and I brought with me a couple of bags of Matcha tea. I love Matcha tea because of their amazing properties, and although is very popular in Japan, more and more this amazing tea is gaining popularity in different countries.

Matcha tea is basically a concentrated version of green tea, but one glass of matcha tea is equivalent to 10 glasses of green tea, that means that this magical beverage has more antioxidants and nutricional value than green tea.

Matcha tea is believed to help in weight loss because of their amazing fat burning properties, it increases the metabolism and burns calories, lowers the cholesterol and blood sugar and does not raise insulin levels and blood pressure.

Matcha tea soothes and relaxes the mind, improves the mood and helps in concentration and memory, plus, the antioxidants levels prevent aging and chronic diseases.

I always make sure to drink my matcha at least a few times a week, specially in smoothies because it is so creamy and goes well with fruit.

Today I decided to bake a very simple and fast matcha tea cake in case you like sweets like me.

You can decorate the cake with strawberries like I did here and a dollop of whip cream.
Drink with it a herbal infusion because the cake already has a lot of caffeine in it because of the green tea, and also if you have problems sleeping at night, eat this cake in the morning.
Enjoy this superfood cake!

Who is Johanna?

I have always had a passion for makeup and fashion even when I was a little girl.
One of the most beautiful memories I have is watching my mom getting ready for work, she used to apply beautiful shades of lipsticks, I also saw her combine gorgeous patterns of fabrics to create interesting outfits, I remember seeing her choosing the best perfumes for the different occasions and get into the "ritual of getting ready".
I loved watching my mother being in touch with her own femininity and love herself in her own skin, accentuate her best features and be ready to face the world.

I think makeup and fashion is a way to express who you are, how do you see yourself and what do you want to project into the world.
Fashion can be artistic yet therapeutic, because whenever you feel blue I bet a beautiful dress matching a gorgeous lipstick shade can lift your spirit and help you see that beautiful woman you are.
